Do you ever pick mushrooms? I like the idea but would probably kill myself with something toxic.

@SW-User Yessss! As a kid I ran around with a mushroom identification book and picked the edible ones. We mostly had shaggy manes, boletus, angel wings and chantrelles.
I never got sick! They are actually easy to distinguish if you have a book

@caccoon Keen competition from the professional foragers now

@SW-User Yes, it would be good to seek out spots that are hard to access or are yet unfound by the crowd.
I was lucky to be able to pick all of those on my property growing up, and in the mountain range

@caccoon I've got a bit of a craving for mushrooms now. We don't have them very often as both my sons hate them.

@SW-User Get some nice ones for yourself! They're so good, I eat them almost every meal.
